When I alighted to meet my BF's brother who was waiting by the roadside, he made a passing remark on me meeting guys. I didn't bother much.

40 minutes later, he made requests for me to go to hotel with him. He was being fucking ridiculous and I didn't reply. I was dressed decently for an interview with a school bag and laptop, I definitely didn't look like who he was looking for.

Not thinking anything wrong, since the call seems to come from the front desk you oblige. But actually, it is a scam by someone calling from outside the hotel.
